Selecting the sample teas for tea workshops

Nihoncha (or Japanese tea) instructor association has some sample teas to provide instructors and advisers, which are used for tea workshops. There was a meeting this weekend to select this year’s sample teas, and I joined it. Some tea producers brought some teas, and we did tea tasting. We decided one tea for each type, sencha, deep-steamed sencha, tamaryokucha, kabusecha, and gyokuro.

We checked the teas from different aspects, such as appearance of tea leaves, and color, aroma and taste of brewed tea. I was very excited to see and taste many different teas at the same time. It was very important experience (^-^)

I’m taking The Way of Tea lessons. I’d like to introduce what I learn in the lessons and what I think of casual Japanese tea in my blog. I hope you’ll find out what Japanese tea is like. Why don’t you give it a try?

I run an online shop; Everyone’s Tea for authentic Japanese tea wares all over the the world. I also provide more information about Japanese tea on our Facebook page.
